From the liner notes:
“All my trials… will soon be over…” And so it is as we creep closer and closer to the end of this project. As for now, we have two different slices of the same pie. First up, is an expanded version of ‘Tripping The Live Fantastic’, which remarkably bfromc pretty much nailed in how it’s being presented. Either that, or I’m starting to become predictable by this point! Either way, I’ve added some of the live b-sides to the end of the first two discs to utilize that valuable space at the end of the discs and went to town for disc three, using it to gather up a lot of live Paul from 1985-1990. A few things I did not include were a) the live Only Love Remains, which doesn’t quite fit in here and will be saved for ‘Rarities’, b) the live tracks found on ‘On The Road To Rio’. Don’t get me wrong, the tracks were in excellent quality, but they just weren’t different enough to warrant inclusion here. I may use some on ‘Rarities’, depending on how it all shakes out. I’ve included Knebworth from the video, which included four songs as opposed to the CD which only gave us two. I’ll likely utilize the CD versions on ‘Rarities’ as well. Some cool things included: the four different “intros” for ‘Birthday’, found on a rare sampler (thanks, Charlie! ) along with the promo edit of Sgt. Pepper. Now this edit was only released on a reel-to-reel tape (in 1990?? WTF??!!) and I don’t have either the tape or a machine to play the tape. However, the edit is broken down in Eight Arms To Hold You, so using that as a guideline, I re-created the edit. Should anyone out there be willing and able to provide an actual recording of the reel tape, I’d be happy to use it!
NOTES:
TRIPPING THE LIFE FANTASTIC – ULTIMATE ARCHIVE COLLECTION
CD 1, 1-19 & CD 2, 1-18 – Tripping the Life Fantastic, a two cd or three album live album, documenting Paul McCartney’s return to the world of touring. You can find when and where every song was recorded on the Wikipedia page, so I’m not going to repeat that here. To differentiate the official live album a bit from the many bootlegs that were floating around, something extra was added in the form of some songs recorded during soundchecks. Some more songs were released as bonus tracks on the singles.
CD 1
20 – Good Day Sunshine – recorded on December 9, 1989 in the Forum, Montreal, and released on October 8, 1990, on the 7″ & 12″ vinyl single & 5″ cd-single of ‘Birthday’.
21 – C Moon – recorded on October 26, 1989, during the soundcheck in Palatrussardi, Milan, Italy and released on the 7” & 12” & cd singles of ‘All My Trials’.
22 – All My Trials – recorded the next day in Milan, and released only in the UK, on November 26,1990 as a 7″,a 12″ single and two different cd-singles. All versions had ‘C Moon’ as second track. The 12” vinyl and the first cd single had live versions of ‘Mull of Kintyre’ and ‘Put It There’ as extra’s, the second cd single had the Lennon tribute medley ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’/‘Help!’/‘Give Peace a Chance’.CD 2
19 – Let ‘Em In – recorded on March 5, 1990 in Tokyo, and released on October 8, 1990, on the 12″ vinyl single & 5″ cd-single of ‘Birthday’.
20 – Mull of Kintyre – recored on June 23, 1990 in Glasgow, Scotland and released on some version of the ‘All My Trials’ single.CD 3
1 – Let It Be – recorded live during the finale of Live Aid in Wembley Stadium, London, on July 13, 1985. As there were issued with the vocal microphone, Paul fixed this in the studio, the next day. This version was released on the Live Aid dvd (November 8, 2004) and also on the dvd The McCartney Years (November 12, 2007).
2-4 – Paul returned to the Wembley Arena for The Prince’s Trust 10th Anniversary Birthday Party, on June 20, 1986. A live album of the concert, released on May 4, 1987, included the live version of ‘Get Back’ with Tina Turner. British copies of the album also contained a bonus single with two more contributions by Macca: ‘Long Tall Sally’ on one side and ‘I Saw Her Standing There’ on the other.
5-6 – On November 19, 1987, Paul recorded two songs in the BBC Televison Theatre in Sheperd’s Bush, London, for Wogan. The band was: Keith Airey (guitar), Gary Barnacle (sax), Chris Whitten (drums), Linda (keyboards) en Nicky Hopkins (piano). The songs, ‘Jet’ and ‘Listen to What the Man Said’, were chosen as Paul was there to promote his recent compilation All The Best. Wogan was shown the next day.
7-9 – Six weeks later, on November 27, 1987, recorded three songs in the Ewart Television Studios, London for Channel 4’s The Last Resort with Jonathan Ross. This time he promoted his Russian album, accompanied by Steve Nieve and the Playboys: Paul and Kevin Armstrong on electric guitars, Steve Naive on piano, Pete Thomas on drums and Steve Lawrence bass. In his memoir Unfaithful Music & Disappearing Ink, Elvis Costello explains that he accompanied Paul to the studio, not knowing that he would meet his estranged ex-band members there.
10-11 – on May 22, 1989 Paul and his new band flew with a private jet to Holland to promote his new single. The Van Gogh museum was opened especially for them. After a few hours of interviews to the Belgian and Dutch press, they rehearsed for half an hour in the Concordia Theater in Bussum, followed by the recording for Countdown, with a live public. The songs however were playbacked: ‘My Brave Face’ and ‘How Many People’. Only the jammed ‘Batman Theme’ was live. After exactly 8 hours in The Netherlands, they fly back to Lydd Airpiort.
12 – Put It There – recorded live on September 28, 1989 in Gothenburg, Sweden. This is the single version from the ‘All My Trials’ single.
13 – Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band – recorded live in Los Angeles, on November 23, 1989. This edit was released in 1990 on a US reel-to-reel 1 track promo.
14 – P.S. Love Me Do – a bad idea done live! On April 21, 1990 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Released on October 8, 1990 on the European 12″ single & 5″ cd-single ‘Birthday’. In the US it appeared only on a cassette single.
15-18 – Birthday I.D. Intro – four (very short) versions, released only in the US, on a Various Artists promo compilation: Capitol Records CDPRO Sampler VOL #23
19 – Birthday – here is is, finally: the ‘Birthday’ single! Recorded live in Knebworth – see below.
20-23 – On June 30, 1990 was top of the bill on the Knebworth festival. Two tracks appeared on the double live album Knebworth: The Album (August 6, 1990): ‘Coming Up’ and ‘Hey Jude’. Three weeks later, on August 28, followed the VHS Knebworth: The Event, with four songs: the two from the album, plus ‘Birthday’ and ‘Can’t Buy Me Love’. A DVD version appeared on November 19, 2002.
24 -Strawberry Fields Forever – Help – Give Peace A Chance – The Lennon Medley was recorded live in King’s Dock Arena, Liverpool on June 28, 1990 and released on some versions of the ‘All My Trials’ single.

A remaster of the straight album(s) is fine as is, but an excellent additional standalone CD for the special editions could be made from the official period releases of support materials. So the additional "mini concert" disk would feature All My Trials, the tracks from the Birthday single(s), Long and Winding road single and close with the Liverpool medley etc... But these tracks then interspersed with the rehearsal recordings released as bonus tracks from the preceding Flowers in the Dirt project, such as Rough Ride and Long and winding road (rehearsal bonus track) - just like the actual Tripping the Live album does. Then the Knebworth tracks might be included as bonus tracks on another disk in the deluxe issue and their visual footage on a DVD. To compliment the Knebworth tracks disk there were also performances of tracks which didn't materialise anywhere on disk: a good performance could be dug out for Another Day, etc. (In the deluxe edition maybe just include a remastered Paul is Live album?).
Main extra "mini concert" CD:
1. Birthday
2. Good Day Sunshine
3. Rouge Ride rehearsal cut bonus track
4. Let em in
5. All my trials
6. C moon
7. The long and winding road rehearsal cut bonus track
8. Mull of Kintyre
9. P.S Love me do
10. Strawberry fields forever/help/Give peace a chance
